Help Through a Divorce
How will I pay the mortgage? Can I keep my children in private school? Can I feed my children?
These are just a few of the questions that spouses have when they come to our law firm looking for help with their divorce. The good news is that Florida courts can and will provide for all of that. But you have to get right on it.

Get Help Within the First Two Weeks
The first thing to do is to get into of the court to get temporary support for children and for legal fees to ensure you are on equal footing with your spouse. There are special laws that apply to child support and go directly to a hearing officer whose job it is to hear it immediately. While at the courthouse, we can address these other issues as well.
In divorce situations, it is usually the party that is leaving that thinks they won't have to pay a dime. But alimony and child support laws in Florida have been revamped and the legislature is giving courts a larger role in what is truly in best interest of the child — from what school he will go to, to who will baby sit. It is all part of an overarching parenting plan that divorcing couples with children will need to create.
